But yeah, ten bucks it's Velen or Akama

sudden oak
#

the illidari didnt kill akama

meager warren
#

ok well

rich apex
#

Maybe Kil'jaeden

meager warren
#

someone did

uncut vault
#

akamas never died

sudden oak
#

no one killed akama

#

he is still alive

teal fiber
#

If you pick the Illidan fan boy in the demon hunter class campaign

meager warren
#

didn't he? 😉

teal fiber
#

You kill Akama, rip out his soul, and use it as a slave

meager warren
#

^

uncut vault
#

if you side with kayn, you reform his shade, if you side with altruis, hes just with you

sudden oak
#

^

uncut vault
#

akama doesnt die from the shade

meager warren
#

his body dies

dense plover
#

^

uncut vault
#

no, it doesnt

dense plover
#

No it doesnt

sudden oak
#

shade of akama was a boss in BT

uncut vault
#

akama is clearly still alive both in TBC and legion

meager warren
#

then why the fuck is he still a shade

sudden oak
#

and akama still was very much alive

teal fiber
#

If you pick Kayn you're scientifically proven to be a bitch

dense plover
#

Because you make him a shade

meager warren
#

and that doesn't kill him?

dense plover
#

Illidan did the same thing

uncut vault
#

hes not still a shade, we pull his shade back out, and no, it doesnt

#

shade =/= soul

meager warren
#

:thonking:

uncut vault
#

its a PART of his soul that houses his emotions

sudden oak
#

if anything the shade would be a fragment of his soul

dense plover
#

It isn’t

#

It’s more complex than that

#

They explained it in the novel

uncut vault
#

Illidan takes out part of his soul and it takes akamas darker emotions, most notably his pride, ambition, and drive for power

ruby prawn
#

What demon soul does Illidan have in him?

#

A felguard?

#

An imp?

#

We were never told

#

Or did we?

sudden oak
#

I think he doesnt have a demon soul inside since he consumed the skull of guldan

zinc sandal
#

I always thought that was it

#

What remained of Gul’Dan

ruby prawn
#

But he consumed it after he became a demon hunter

zinc sandal
#

Idk

ruby prawn
#

He Must have a demon soul inside him

#

He must have ate a demon heart

#

But whose?

zinc sandal
#

I don’t care much about horni bois

ruby prawn
#

What about Tauren?

#

They have horns

zinc sandal
#

Nope

sudden oak
#

or draenei

ruby prawn
#

xD

sudden oak
#

they also have horns

zinc sandal
#

Not all Draenei

ruby prawn
#

Only the females

zinc sandal
#

No

ruby prawn
#

Right?

hollow dock
#

Illidan has no demon soul in him

zinc sandal
#

Males have em too

hollow dock
#

he is just infused with sargeras' power

ruby prawn
#

Oh

#

And how did he know about the ritual of becoming a dh?

zinc sandal
#

Maybe he invented it

hollow dock
#

It was done to him

#

his eyes were burned out

#

by fel.

ruby prawn
#

Yes, but the ritual the other dhs go through is different

#

They have to rip their eyes on their own

hollow dock
#

no they stab their eyes

ruby prawn
#

They have to eat a demon heart

hollow dock
#

with fel daggers

#

Im not sure where you got the eating a demons heart, but they just infuse a demons soul to them

ruby prawn
#

From the book illidan

#

The must drink the blood of a demon

zinc sandal
#

First they have to hunt the demon

ruby prawn
#

Nah, not really

#

They have to just kill it

hollow dock
#

that is hunting it

zinc sandal
#

That’s...hunting it

ruby prawn
#

No it isn't

zinc sandal
#

So demons volunteer to get killed?????????

hollow dock
#

illidan doesn't present demons.

ruby prawn
#

Hunting means they have to first find it

zinc sandal
#

Don’t they?

ruby prawn
#

They are summoned next to them and chained

hollow dock
#

does illidan have his own demonfarm?

ruby prawn
#

Yes

hollow dock
#

are they grown free range?my dh only eats free range demons

ruby prawn
#

Not really, that was a joke

zinc sandal
#

Do they use felicides?

ruby prawn
#

In the book, the protagonist was given a demon

zinc sandal
#

Merry Christmas!

ruby prawn
#

Don't know his name

#

Yes, a chained felhound was delivered to him

#

He just killed it

#

And ate his heart

zinc sandal
#

Poor dog

ruby prawn
#

And saw some stuff from the past

#

Anyways, any datamined info about the boy king?

zinc sandal
#

No

ruby prawn
#

Sad

hollow dock
#

in my book, the demon HUNTER

#

HUNTS

#

the demon

uncut vault
#

I mean, no demon hunter actually has a demon within, its the darkness in their own mind driving them to insanity

hollow dock
#

Nah Im pretty sure that guy that EXPLODED died to the fel energy inside him

#

and not to some metaphor of insanity

sudden oak
#

if they dont have demons inside how can they use fel magic?

uncut vault
#

Yeah, he couldnt contain his power anymore and exploded

#

🤷 ask william king

#

Illidan doesnt have a demon within, he uses it just fine

rich apex
#

They definitely got demon souls inside them

#

Or some shit

teal fiber
#

Demon hunters have demon souls inside them

rich apex
#

The inscription questline

#

Has you help a dude deal with his

#

And his tattoos

teal fiber
#

And Illidan has consumed the souls of

#

very many demons

sudden oak
#

Illidan was given power by the legion itself

teal fiber
#

Now he himself didn't have to eat a demon to become one

sudden oak
#

thats why he uses fel power

teal fiber
#

But he eats demons

#

And all demon hunters have the soul of a demon within them. It's imperative to the process of becoming one

#

They kill the demon, eat it's heart, then kill the demon again

#

Eat it's heart again

#

And repeat the process a bunch of times in a weird dream world

sudden oak
#

the rest of dh who dont get power by the legion itself chain demon souls inside them to use that power

teal fiber
#

And then they rip their eyes out except sometimes they don't because "reasons"

rich apex
#

Aesthetic

#

They're elves, after all

hollow dock
#

Most do. Even if they dont wear blindfolds

#

those are eyes still gutted out

proud karma
#

most dh eat demon hearts

hollow dock
#

all of em do

proud karma
#

illidan ate guldaniels skull or smth

hollow dock
#

See the Dh questline, its the only way they get their powers

proud karma
#

hes the only differ

#

i have one

sudden oak
#

ripping their eyes out wasnt to sense all kinds of magic better?

proud karma
#

i was just makin an illidan joke haha

hollow dock
#

its so they can see through magic yes.

#

Everything else is kinda grey blurs, but magic flares up

zinc sandal
#

Ate his skull xD

teal fiber
#

Some Demon Hunters keep their eyes, it's in the book

#

Doesn't explain why, mind you

#

But they just....do. I guess.

zinc sandal
#

Don’t they see all sorts of crazy stuff if they keep them?

teal fiber
#

Yeah but

#

Don't worry it's fine

zinc sandal
#

Everything’s fine as the entire universe burns in fel fire

hollow dock
#

insert 'this is fine meme

sudden oak
#

that meme is me whenever I play support/healer

uncut vault
#

demon hunters can see just fine, they can see better than normal people. They just also have the ability to switch on magic vision

zinc sandal
#

Blizzard, Blizzard, Blizzard

#

You’d think they would make more icy jokes

hollow dock
#

Mess

#

help

#

I have to play

#

shudder

#

garrosh

sudden oak
#

garrosh 🤢

zinc sandal
#

People say he sucks now, but he’s still easy to get kills with

#

And hard to kill

hollow dock
#

Yea, apparently when you can't throw someone across two screensyou dont seem that powerful

zinc sandal
#

Garrosh + Maiev + Stitches

hollow dock
#

+ETC

#

cuz why not overkill the knocking around

zinc sandal
#

And the tanking

sudden oak
#

dont forget about diablo too

hollow dock
#

there we go

#

the new meta comp

zinc sandal
#

Don’t even

hollow dock
#

Dibbles, Stitches, ETC, Maiev, and garrosh

#

the ultimate 'You're not going to play this game' comp

zinc sandal
#

Yep

#

You’ll be stunned before you leave base

hollow dock
#

Even as you spawn, the stun timers just carry over

sudden oak
#

or "We are going to use you as ball" comp

hollow dock
#

'You are our new Football' comp

zinc sandal
#

Because Diablo’s stun ult

hollow dock
#

he stuns you, he charges you, then you're hooked, then you're chained, then you're tossed and then you're knocked back.

uncut vault
#

I mean, I think garrosh's new Q is better because you can actually stall enemies while you get away

hollow dock
#

its a lot worse in the sense that you're not forcing people to not play the game

zinc sandal
#

Vris, fav hero?

#

Don’t say Illidan

sudden oak
#

hides lvl 16 illidan

hollow dock
#

You're gonna get even more disappointed

#

Nova

Abathur, Lv 47

#

I just shoot things

and sometimes kill them

zinc sandal

sudden oak
#

my highest lvl is Sylvanas lvl 19

hollow dock
#

I tunneled to hard on nova. My next highest is KT. at 13.

zinc sandal
#

What ult do you usually pick as Nova?

hollow dock
#

Strike.

#

at level 20 its so busted to have PS at every 30 seconds

zinc sandal
#

How dare you not pick Triple Tap

hollow dock
#

Listen I know its the best ult in the game

#

but. Precision Strike lets me be somewhat helpful to the team by clearing out lanes

sudden oak
#

LOL

zinc sandal
#

You use it on minions....

#

I am going to have a seizure.

hollow dock
#

I never face people stupid enough to stand in it

#

Its up every teamfight so

#

eh

sudden oak
#

you have a slow to make them stand on it

#

also team cc helps with that

zinc sandal
#

Incorrect

hollow dock
#

snicker relying on the team for anything in QM

zinc sandal
#

Team will always push or pull enemies out of Strike

hollow dock
#

^

#

fo' real

zinc sandal
#

I usually either go with a full push build on Aba in QM or a Monstrosity build

sudden oak
#

dagger build was so OP in tf tbh

hollow dock
#

Ijust go full snipe. or full combo. Depends on how frisky Im feeling.

sudden oak
#

with sylvanas

hollow dock
#

Yea shame that got gutted.

sudden oak
#

yup

zinc sandal
#

If I’m feeling trollish I might pick that talent that turns enemy minions into friendly ones

sudden oak
#

posesion?

zinc sandal
#

And just turn the frigging wave around lol

#

I think so?

hollow dock
#

yea her level 7.

sudden oak
#

most hated hero?

hollow dock
#

genji

#

hands down

zinc sandal
#

Tracer

hollow dock
#

at least tracer can be punished for diving

sudden oak
#

im with butcher or samuro

zinc sandal
#

I can eat Butcher with a Monstrosity at 40 stacks

hollow dock
#

man thats a bad butchy

zinc sandal
#

Samuro’s not even a threat

hollow dock
#

AS I SPEAK

#

THE DEVIL HAS APPEARED

zinc sandal
#

I just walk by, wave, keep going

hollow dock
#

fuck me, genji vs nova

sudden oak
#

rip

zinc sandal
#

You’re dead

#

Samuro has to be one of the most meh heroes ever

#

Nobody takes him seriously

sudden oak
#

and they all pay for it when he is annoying everyone at the same time

zinc sandal
#

XD

hollow dock
#

Maiev, Illidan, Junkrat, Zagara, Genji.

#

The most. Try hard team. Ive ever seen.

jovial coral
#

What if illidan picked up sargeras's philosophy

cinder knoll
#

context?

jovial coral
#

Like, something causes illidan to work against the pantheon

teal fiber
#

No

#

If they bring Illidan back a third fucking time

#

That. Would be the worst thing.

cinder knoll
#

so you came with a random "what if" without any reason? I think you are in a wrong discord channel, try Pyromancers discord, there are lots of ppl doing the same

#

I think I will call it "Wanna be Pyro syndrome"

jovial coral
#

Well illidan has to be doing something unless he dies

teal fiber
#

He is. He's fighting Sargeras forever.

#

That's his job.

cinder knoll
#

ye, he will enjoy torturing Sargeras for eternity or untill Blizz changes his mind and bring some old characters back... but I'm not sure people would eat this bait again, once was ok, twice is too much

#

I think they will just focus on other characters, they really have much to offer and they are new, not overused

#

Illidan had his time, he even got redemption story, thats cool and I like it, but it's enough I think

jovial coral
#

Fair enough

#

Something tells me sylvanas will be brought back to life by anduin or something

cinder knoll
#

ye, next one will be Arthas

#

sarcasm off

#

what makes you think that?

jovial coral
#

Well that cinematic for one

cinder knoll
#

what exactly?

teal fiber
#

Why would he. Sylvanas is straight up a villain

#

If anything he should incinerate her body just to make sure

cinder knoll
#

and I dont think you can bring undead back to "live" state

#

and I dont think she would let him even if he could

#

she is ok as she is, she wants to be immortal

jovial coral
#

I can see her banshee scream fade into a mortals cry

#

It would be tragic

cinder knoll
#

ye the enemy at the gates, destroying her home (again), definitelly she cries because she wants to be alive again and join Alliance

#

sry man, but you should put more than just "feeling" into it

jovial coral
#

what?

cinder knoll
#

what what?

jovial coral
#

I think my theory is sound I don't know what you mean by her wanting to join the alliance

cinder knoll
#

sry that was just an addition to "Anduin will make her alive again"

#

because thats why Anduin would do that or?

#

if he would just want to kill her, he wouldnt be bringing her back to live

teal fiber
#

Yeah I don't understand why you would think Anduin would "bring her back to life"

jovial coral
#

Well it's too soon to say for sure why

cinder knoll
#

sry, but if you state such theory, you must back it up with facts, reasons,...

vast roost
jovial coral
#

I don't think she's died 3 times yet

cinder knoll
#

I guess you talk about Illgynoths whisper... but what leads you to believe that it talks about Sylvanas?

#

it's not that clear and there are many other candidates

#

actually, Sylvanas has already died 3 times I think

#
  1. Arthas kill, 2) suicide jump from ICC, 3) assasination in Silverpine Forest
vast roost
#

Should've stayed dead after Silverpine.

jovial coral
#

What about the king of diamonds has been made a pawn

cinder knoll
#

I dont know, I like her, but what shes doing now isnt my cup of tea, I hope it will change or they will explain or something

vast roost
#

King of Diamonds is either Magni or Gallywix.

cinder knoll
#

@jovial coral well, I think thats simple, Magni listens to Azeroth and tells us... if Old Gods managed to somehow influence Azeroth, for example force her a nightmare vision, she would tell Magni and he would tell us... making him a pawn

#

I think that scenario Frightened World was on purpose of Old Gods, they wanted us to go to Argus and shut down Sargeras

#

but thats just my guess

#

hmmm, Gallywix? I think if he will play some bad role, he will do it on purpose, for money... so not really pawn by definition

#

hes not really a good guy

#

I would put him on similar place as Azshara, greedy and willing to do anything to get more

#

so I wouldnt be surprised if he would go rogue

jovial coral
#

I can see gallywix dying

cinder knoll
#

or that

#

possibly by the hand of Saurfang 😄

#

because that piece of s**t deserves that

jovial coral
#

Alliance will probably capture gallywix and instead of taking him prisoner like saurfang they'll execute him

vast roost
#

Yeah, definitely Lawl

cinder knoll
#

that would be stupid I would say, not funny

vast roost
#

Sounds like an Alliance thing to do

#

Executions HYPER

cinder knoll
#

he isn't very popular or something, but hes still Horde race leader, letting him die like that would be a waste of opurtunity

#

they could come with something better

#

more dramatic

teal fiber
#

I mean besides enslaving the goblin player character

#

Gallywix actually

#

Hasn't done that many bad things

#

Compared to others

cinder knoll
#

well, hes still greedy gang leader and slaver

#

maybe slaver isnt right word 😄

#

dont remember

teal fiber
#

Yeah, and to goblins that's

#

The ideal leader

#

Goblins want that. It's what they like, it's why they respect him

cinder knoll
#

maybe you are right

teal fiber
#

The reason the goblin PC goes against him isn't because they don't like him and want to make changes

#

It's because Goblin society in and of itself revolves around pushing yourself and striving for achievement

cinder knoll
#

ye they live mafia way

teal fiber
#

If the Goblin PC became Trade Prince, likely they'd do the same things Gallywix does

cinder knoll
#

btw did you see Azerite war machine models? ali and horde look almost the same... accident? 😄

vast roost
#

Arms dealers playing both sides isn't uncommon.

cinder knoll
#

ye thats what Im pointing out 😃

#

and thats why he could get a stab by Saurfang

teal fiber
#

I don't think Gallywix will betray the Horde

#

His sin is pride, not greed. He wants to keep what's his, he's not looking to make more

#

He already knows he's the richest man on Azeroth

#

His short story says it himself. He has no desire to make more great quantities of wealth. He knows he's the biggestm

#

But he won't let anyone "steal his cookie"

#

If anything, Gallywix would crack down on any Bilgewater goblins trying to pull a fast one

cinder knoll
#

those are the neutral ones ye?

teal fiber
#

No

#

Bilgewater Cartel is Horde aligned

#

Those are the playable goblins

cinder knoll
#

ah ok

teal fiber
#

The Steamwheedle and Venture Co. are neutral

#

As well as others

cinder knoll
#

I forgot the name 😃

jovial coral
#

If Gallywix dies who will inherit his fortune

vast roost
#

Me.

jovial coral
#

Are you his wife

cinder knoll
#

I dont think he has wife, just a lot of prostitutes

jovial coral
#

Oh, I see.

#

Maybe that's what gallywix needs, A wife.

cinder knoll
#

hehe 😄 that would have to be a really tough girl 😄

jovial coral
#

Or guy

vast roost
#

Gallywix needing a wife
Wife being the term for married women
Male wife

cinder knoll

Men can be wives

ye, that means only 3 more days until weekend, cheers

tulip sun

and most likely a new build

strange falcon
#

BTW new vulpera UNIQUE animations and customizations have come out on wowhead

#

and this is taken from the comments on said post  Horde quests befriending them - We have quests on the Horde side helping to teach them Shamanism. Meanwhile Alliance are just shown to be murderin' them.
3. Cultural background of the Vulpera as an oppressed race - Aside from the Vulpera having cultural similaries to the Romani (who do not have the best of reputations), it's an in-game fact that the Sethrak are enslaving them.
4. Alliance being parked up with the Sethrak - An Alliance harbor camp deep within Sethrak controlled territory. They are working with Sethrak. And the Sethrak and Vulpera are enemies. Likewise, the Sethrak and Zandalari are enemies.

Alliance support a race that has slaves? Figures

O.o

gritty idol

And they say the Horde is evil

sharp bluff

I know, hypocrites

carmine junco

makes me wonder if the alliance is tricked into helping, or what.

sharp bluff

I doubt that, I dislike the alliance ( I still have some alts on them though) but they aren’t stupid

carmine junco
#

i mean, there are a few ally quests that I reaaaaallly side-eye, so it's possible that they're not

strange falcon

also vulpera shamans could be an interesting idea

(that quest in thousand needles with the centaurs and oil drilling being my main example)

I'm hype as hell for the orcs being able to stand up straight

The horde has a great chiropractic plan

Alliance and the Sethrak just seems like a "we'll take all the help we can get kind of thing", or "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kinda thing. Hypcritical? A little bit Lawl

#

Fuck being hypocritical, I want snakeybois.

sharp bluff
#

I’ll be honest I’m all for it, the alliance got shafted on 3/4 of their allied races

But it still sounds like they are giving up their ideals to fight

vast roost

I guess desperation can do that to you.

sharp bluff
#

At least the way I see it, but I play horde so idk

strange falcon
#

what if Sethrak druids are the counterpart to Zandalari? there have been snake druids in the past,aka wailing caverns viper druids

vast roost
#

Would make more sense to me that Vulpera would go to the Alliance, you know taking in the sick and wounded that kind of thing.

hollow dock

But horde help vulpera most

The Horde already has slavers, why not add another one? Lawl

@hollow dock circumstantial evidence like in the post above

If you wanted to make a sound argument, the Orcs were enslaved at the end of the Second War and made to repair all the damage they did.

tbh, had Stormwind’s remnants voted to genocide the Orcs, Lordaeron and Stromgarde would have been the minority vote and there’d be no Horde today.

The Alliance chose to have mercy. 😉

vast roost
#

Shame.

terse patrol
#

Genn and Kul Tiras wanted to kill them all.

#

I can see where they come from though. The Orcs showed up, and the first thing they did was slaughter Stormwind then invade the north. They had no proof that they were more than just barbaric monsters.

Genn is the one I trust the least on Ally side so... I figured he would have voted kill them all before the wall

I hope Genn gets to kill Sylvanas ameowthinkingsmirk

I would really like to know what you mean with "hell" in WOW 😄 because nothing in WOW is really religional like IRL

so everything has an explanation

sharp bluff

Helhiem lol

cinder knoll
#

e.g. hell for Vrykul was Helheim

#

but we didnt see any other creatures there

so its most likely just part of their culture, not a general rule

Whatever the Warcraft equivalent is, shouldn't be that hard to piece together on your own, without taking "hell" literally.

@vast roost ye I could imagine something, but that's what you can do IRL if you believe in that... but in WOW, nothing exists without explanation, so unless there is some evidence, it doesnt exist

And wonder the hubs

first they get worgens

now big snake people

doesnt seem very alliancey

cinder knoll
#
  1. worgens are humans
#
  1. they are not getting snake people yet
#

and the emphasis is on YET, because they might get them, but also might not

  1. the plural is not worgens, it's worgen

The snakes I'm going to need to see a female model of first

cinder knoll

good to know, but I think I will forget it

Not a big fan of small fox people being a possible horde race either

The worgens need new models

They fit as a friend of the Tauren

Who is teaching them shamanism?

Ahhhh cannot wait for BfA seriously. It'll be nice to have some new stuff to do.

what do you mean what

Thats a pic of a Sethrak female

Well, do reptiles lactate?

proud karma
#

Oh I wasn't even looking

#

Ok, they're playable

sharp bluff
#

If they gave the sethrak females a chest they would look as stupid as a female worgen

terse patrol
#

Protoss in SC have no boobs, because they have no mouths, thus no need to lactate for their kids. They literally subsist off of sunlight.

sharp bluff
#

They are plants

terse patrol
#

They’re not plants, but

#

Similar

sharp bluff
#

namekians lol

terse patrol
#

Females are defined by their slighter frames, more angular faces. Not by boobies.

#

So that’s why female sethrak have no boobies.

#

No need for them biologically.

#

Naga have them because they used to be manmals.

#

Mammals*

proud karma
#

I think it would be fun if they used some other animals gender marker

#

Like male sethrak have a big colorful crest or smth

gritty idol
#

female snakes are larger than male snakes irl

proud karma

There we go

Make em like goblins where females are bigger

I'd even accept "They all look like that they're gynandromorphs"

Protoss also breathe through their skin

And communicate telepathically

So Namekians? lol

zinc sandal
#

Idk what that is

sharp bluff
#

Piccolo from Dragon Ball/z

#

basically they are slug people, don't require food, and can fuse together

zinc sandal
#

Ew

sharp bluff
#

only really need sunlight and a small amount of water

zinc sandal
#

Protoss can also fuse together lol

#

To form Archons

sharp bluff
#

When Namekians fuse they become stronger lol

#

they can also become giant for a bit

#

It is weird stuff

zinc sandal
#

Here it shows two of them fusing to form an Archon

#

1:44

sharp bluff
#

Really similar lol

hollow dock
#

I mean. Archon is them turning into energy to become a being that isnt even a Protoss anymore.

zinc sandal
#

And they can't separate after. IIRC they only last a certain amount of time before dying. And while they exist, they do so in agony.

hollow dock
#

Yup.

dense plover
#

So, any hint of a new build? @uncut vault are the servers still up?

#

When they take them down, that’s a good sign

Usually

Im waiting for the one time that Blizz takes dowm the servers and they never come back.

zinc sandal
#

One Day™

sharp bluff
#

Well Namekian stay slugs, but they can’t separate , but enough non wow talk lol

hollow dock
#

They fuse into stronger beings, but I wouldnt say theure similar to archons. :v

zinc sandal
#

Probably not lol

hollow dock
#

Cuz they can seperate into two. See lord slug and Guru.

#

And piccolo and kami.

sharp bluff
#

Oh no I meant base Protoss lol

#

Well mostly mean dbz version of them

hollow dock
#

Both are from DBZ?

sharp bluff
#

They are but the split piccolo kami thing was from Dragonball

#

When they were just demons

hollow dock
#

Indeed. So was Slug and Guru.

#

theyve always been namekians.

sharp bluff
#

They were demons in old Dragonball, got retconed to aliens in Z, Slug/Guru and Piccolo/Kami are special since namekians aren’t supposed to be able to split into two unique personalities

hollow dock
#

The retcon extends into DB tho. Thats how retcons work.

sharp bluff
#

I know that is why I said they are exceptions

#

Special cases

hollow dock
#

Supposed to and having the ability to are seperate things :v like fusing, namekians can seperate. Its just frobidden.

Vol'dun testing?

#

Or beta access?

#

find out in the next episode of developer Q&A

rich apex
#

All I want is confirmation on the next set (or sets) of Allied Races 😐

uncut vault
#

Beta almost certainly won't happen this week

rich apex
#

Admittedly, hard to think of what else he could announce

uncut vault
#

Not all Q&As have announcements, typically announcement Q&As are on tuesdays

rich apex
#

Truuue

#

But last one coincided with pre orders

uncut vault
#

Legion beta announcement was also on a Tuesday

rich apex
#

And it's BFA Q&A instead of a general one

uncut vault
#

It would be nice but we aren't even to max level on the alpha

rich apex
#

Truuue

#

I was thinking more they announce a date for beta

#

I mean, I'd rather they announce Allied Race stuff, but presumably beta is the question more people want to know 😛

uncut vault
#

Inb4 "announcing the next alliance allied race: slightly lower elves!"

languid yoke
#

I'm the most important person on this planet and I want allied race information

#

next alliance allied race: elf humans

rich apex
#

Half elves

#

It'd just be nice if they confirmed Kul'tirans

#

And vulpera

#

And whatever the Alliance race alongside them will be

sharp bluff
#

Half elfs, and half orcs

rich apex
#

I still would not bet on half breeds

#

Until they -really- run out of Allied ideas

uncut vault
#

It probably will be kul tirans, but would be interesting if the theory that they're waiting to announce it because it involves book spoilers

languid yoke
#

half murloc half vrykul

#

vryloc

rich apex
#

Eh, I can't imagine what spoiler there'd be from the book that relates to Allied Races

languid yoke
#

it will be the next big thing

#

did someone say murloc allied race?

#

all for it

languid yoke
#

no, not murloc allied race

#

sharp bluff
#

Murloc Death Knights wooooooo

uncut vault
#

Kaldorei worgen and high elves are two possible tie-ins to the book 🤷

rich apex
#

I suppoooose

#

I really wouldn't bet on elf worgen either

#

Even if it is lore appropriate

uncut vault
#

Malfurion or vereesa dying would be a decent catalyst

polar geode
#

ewww elf worgen gtfo

rich apex
#

Still think Vereesa is the dead elf in the Teldrassil art

#

But

#

I don't think Teldrassil is burning in the book

#

Since they datamined stuff about the Horde attack on Darkshore

uncut vault
#

Seems more like flashback stuff than a scenario to me

#

Since there's nothing involving scenario elements or an alliance perspective

rich apex
#

Eh, a flashback seems kind of odd

#

True

#

But it's alpha and the full quest isn't in the files yet

#

The Darkshore lines weren't even in the first few builds, iirc

uncut vault
#

Even if vereesa does die, I really hope they address why the two elves in the art look so drastically different

rich apex
#

Art style

#

And they had to pose her to be dramatically anonymous

uncut vault
#

It's more the matter of between the two pieces, she's the only thing that changes that dramatically

#

Every branch, sword, and root in the art is the same, but the elf beside Sylvanas changes armor, skin color, and ear shape

#

Loses the spears and arrows impaled in her

rich apex
#

Thus she has to be someone important

#

And it probably won't be Alleria

#

Because they need her for the Void foreshadowing

uncut vault
#

Idk, I'd just really be disappointed if it was Vereesa. Alleria and Sylvanas both need no more drive to hate the horde, alleria needs no more drive to despise Sylvanas. It just seems like a useless death

rich apex
#

Plus I really like the notion that Sylvanas comforted her in her death

#

Instead of being all 'see you in five minutes sis'

#

Well

#

Every death in the faction war is ultimately useless

#

That's the point

#

And Alleria does need a push to outright hate Sylvanas

#

She seems more shocked in the Argus lines

#

And the SW bit says a meeting is coming, not a reckoning

strange falcon
#

are we saying sylvanas killed and ressed vereesa?

uncut vault
#

She kinda hates her already in the Silvermoon stuff

rich apex
#

Until the Twilight's Hammer lures the Alliance and Horde to Teldrassil, sets it on fire, and Vereesa gets killed in the crossfire

#

No

uncut vault
#

Doesn't even call her her sister anymore

rich apex
#

I'm saying Sylvanas lets Vereesa die

#

(hopefully)

#

Vereesa's the perfect balance of relevant but not -too- relevant that she can die

uncut vault
#

I mean, assuming it is Vereesa changing her armor just for this, would be interesting actually having a relevant undead elf besides Sylvanas

strange falcon
#

well sylvanas is not the LK,her reanimated ppl have free will

uncut vault
#

New armor fits the dark ranger look

rich apex
#

I'm assuming that Vereesa asks Sylvanas to let her die

#

For maximum angst

#

It'd be great

#

But I can't imagine an entirely new character popping up in the WC3 nostalgia expansion

strange falcon
#

if she outright asked her,she would grant her wish ino

uncut vault
#

More why I think it'll be in the book. I'll be disappointed if she dies, but I trust Christie golden to write it well

strange falcon
#

*imo

rich apex
#

I'd like to think so, yes

#

That is fair

#

Prayer circle for Golden

blood elves literally are high elves

I will however take undead of multiple races

not just humans

I mean they might eventually have you seen the amount of Forum posts etc and Yes Blood Elves are High Elves, but I mean like high Elves from silver covenant etc 😄 and Void Elves are cool but they are still not like actual High Elves with the name High Elves etc

dense plover

but it still isnt going to happen

#

they look the same, there arent enough, and they just added two new elves

gritty idol

Not enough them alive to be a playable race

uncut vault

population is irrelevant

dense plover

yes, it can be

but excluding that

and the ones that are left are said to flock to the Velfs

uncut vault
#

other points can be valid but population has literally 0 bearing on playability

ruby star

They should at least give us a valid answer, positive or negative, because using the excuse Void Elves are a flavour of High Elves doesn't really cut it xD 😄

dense plover
#

they have

#

multiple times

theyve said no

#

people keep asking

doesnt change what they said

uncut vault

they'll keep getting asked until we get a yes.

between having void elves and blood elves there is no point

dense plover

uncut vault
#

everyone, including blizz, justh as to accept that.

ruby star
#

They said no about Vanilla, that eventually happened 😉

dense plover
#

what?

sharp bluff
#

They have though, and they even gave another reason in the Allied race patch, they even said that the High elves are joining the Velfs

dense plover
#

you mean classic?

#

it hasnt even happened yet

gritty idol
#

they added the vanilla so people would stop playing illegally

dense plover
#

to our knowledge, there has been no work done

#

it was just an announcement

sharp bluff
#

Almost no High Elves left, and some of the ones that are left are now Velfs

uncut vault
#

two high elves in the race zone =/= all high elves

ruby star
#

Yes classic, yes I know that but they still announced that they are working on it now

dense plover
#

and an entire gameplay style is not the same as a race

uncut vault
#

numbers mean nothing in WoW and they were plenty militant in Wrath and MoP.

sharp bluff

It's in the Velf info....

uncut vault

it isnt, at all

dense plover

yeah, its not in the velf info

gritty idol

they are adding so many damn races

let it be enough

dense plover

I'm pretty sure not all High Elves would become Void Elves

Belfs and High elfs are flocking to the velfs

#

not all

#

but enough

uncut vault
#

theres zero reference to high elves in anything involving velfs aside from two npcs with generic lines

its why i dont expect there to be any more allied races outside of two for horde and two for alliance with BfA

gritty idol
#

Gimme my damn upright maghar orcs and ill be satisfied

dense plover
#

that is happening

#

and thats one orc variation

The ren'dorei's emergence attracted other blood elves and high elves to their cause.

we are up to 4 elf variations already

@sharp bluff where are you getting this from

I am pretty sure there is more High Elves atm then their is Void Elves (I know theres not many High Elves left atm)

dense plover

again

uncut vault
#

there are. But again, numbers mean nothing.

dense plover
#

ignoring population

#

there are too many other issues

#

too many elves, they look the same

#

etc

#

it would literally be blood elves on the alliance

uncut vault
#

too many elves is a community issue.

gritty idol
#

at least they changed up nightborne to not be exact clones of night elves

uncut vault
#

not a blizzard one

ruby star
#

You could give High Elves Tattoos like Alleria etc

dense plover
#

so then they look like blood elves with tattoos?

uncut vault
#

there are plenty of ways to make high elves different, It's just up to blizz if they want to.

dense plover
#

you are missing the point

gritty idol
#

Blood Elves literally identical to High Elves

dense plover
#

they would have to be significantly different

#

and that would mean changing the lore

sharp bluff
#

I'm looking for the exact source, why is it always so hard to find it when you need it?

dense plover
#

because it isnt a thing

gritty idol
#

The high elves that exist have tattoos do to their profession

dense plover
#

it wouldve been everywhere if it was

sharp bluff
#

wowpedia doesn't have a link to the lines saying it so I gotta dig a bit

The ren'dorei's emergence attracted other blood elves and high elves to their cause.

Its in the game peach, deny it all you want

dense plover

where

#

find it

uncut vault

you cant just say something without a source

that doesnt make it true

I'm on mobile dude, if I could play wow on my phone i would lol

teal fiber

I dunno why any elf would willingly choose to be a void elf

There's a reason why void elves are all moody broody MCR fans

#

The void sucks

gritty idol
#

if people can become traitors I can guarantee a lot of folks will call themselves "high elves"

uncut vault
#

I mean, I still dont understand how people dont get the simple thing about elves, and most races. Not every high elf stayed a high elf for the same reasons

#

some stayed for magical purity, some stayed for alliance loyalty

#

the latter might become void elves

proud karma
#

And very very few high elves didn't get a case of green eye-glow

teal fiber
#

I mean unless you have a source that says the void elves are openly recruiting and voiding people up

wild pewter
#

There are definitely High Elves who became Void Elves

teal fiber
#

I can't believe you because everything we know suggests

#

That the Void sucks ass

It's a torturous and entropic existence

uncut vault

We've got locus walker teaching high elves about the void, but theres nothing anywhere about high elves flocking en masse to the void

dense plover

wild pewter
#

Not en masse, but there are definitely those interested.

teal fiber
#

That's stupid. Anduin why the hell did you let these insane velves in.

uncut vault
#

just like with the original void elf band, its probably a very small number, because some people are bound to be interested

gritty idol
#

Realistically couldn't a blood elf just decide to be a high elf again

uncut vault
#

Politically, yes

teal fiber
#

Last thing we need is more people deciding that "hey that thing that has done nothing else but horrible and terrible bad things? Yeah let's dunk our heads into it."

uncut vault

and once the fel eyes wear off, probably visually too

proud karma

I hate when people say "They were the group that meditated~" or whatever their reason is
Because they're not even really a group
When 90% of 90% of a whole civilization is gone it's not a case of "ohoho, I just ✨ chose ✨ to be better"

That's insane. And here I thought Void Elves couldn't get dumber but nah let's just allow more people to become monstrous tentacle beasts

Velfs are openly recruiting, now to see how long before one goes crazy

wild pewter

But they're not monstrous tentacle beasts, they're like DH's for the void.

so can void elves

they are in a fight to control the void in them

all the elves are obsessed with stupid shit

I just really don't get people who ask for high elves
The high elves have been playable since bc, just horde
You can hate and despise that fact but I'm always surprised when someone doesn't think that's what they were doing

its their nature

in before light corrupted paladins when?

gritty idol

Many have sought to harness the corruptive magic of the Void. Most who tried have fallen into madness. Determined to use this power for the good of Azeroth, Alleria Windrunner is the first mortal to succeed at defying the shadow's whispers. Coming to the aid of a group of her kin who nearly gave in to the darkness, Alleria has vowed to train these Void Elves to control the shadows within them and pledge their newfound powers to the Alliance.

they are not in control yet basically

its still very WIP

i dont expect it to be perfect, im not a pro

but i expect it to eventually be good enough to win me another beta key

the second part is going to be voldun themed

really the map is in our mind,and the physical manifestation that the animations shows,is just that we memorized the map so well,it's strong enough to materialize as a physical object

so wait

#

what are they makring

#

when they tell us 'I'll mark your map'

strange falcon
#

they show you a real map,and mark it on that map

#

and you remember it well

#

like photographic memory

#

or whatever it's called

dense plover
#

or maybe

#

you just get a map when you go to a new place

#

and thats what discovering is when you fill out the map in the game

#

either via magic

#

or cartography

I think we're trying to explain something that isn't meant to be explained, because it's gameplay not lore.

hollow dock
#

it is lore as the characters always mention they mark your map

floral grotto
#

... that is a terrible justification.

#

Magic gnomish maps, still waiting for it to explode

#

Like a whiteboard made of paper

#

The ever changing, ever expanding map of gnomish make, now with 99.9% less radiation

floral grotto
#

Just because some NPC says something about an object that's purely used for gameplay reasons, doesn't automatically make it part of lore.

#

Do we have maps? Sure. But lore is still not gameplay.

#

Gameplay maps =/= lore maps.

#

Thus, you're trying to rationalize something that can't be rationalized due to gameplay.

we also used to not get quite so much marked on our maps, and actually had to find out what was going on

Looking up quests on Thottbot because quest text was so vague

#

#

Only 90s kids remember Thottbot

strange falcon
#

trying to triangulate what to do or npc locations because thottbot wasnt enough

Having to run back to Stormwind to LFG because the channel was only capitals-wide and not worldwide

#

meanwhile im here remembering legion because it was the shit 😛

#

seriously though, i started at the end of wrath

#

and while the talent trees were dumb, i like putting points in things

rich apex
#

The only good thing about vanilla in hindsight

#

Was the AQ War Effort

strange falcon
#

vanilla was only ever good because it was 2004

#

and now everyone has nostalgia glasses

dense plover
#

i would love to see something like artifacts become permanent where every level you get a point and can put it in whatever, and by max level, you have filled the whole thing out

rich apex
#

Exactly

tulip sun
#

V.v

dense plover
#

i just want to put points in things

rich apex
#

Talent trees are great, except there's only one acceptable way to spend talents

dense plover
#

it makes leveling up feel good

tulip sun
#

I am getting worried there may not be a build today, haha. I wanted some news

dense plover
#

which is why im saying it doesnt matter how you spend them

#

b/c by max level, just like with artifacts, the entire tree is full

#

you just get to choose while leveling

strange falcon
#

you mean like the new pvp talents system?

#

with the 5 slots

rich apex
#

Alas, no perfect progression system

dense plover
#

artifacts were pretty good

#

im suggesting essentially the same system, but a point per level

strange falcon
#

excluding the infinite grind you needed to be even close to competitive they were good

dense plover
#

and at max level, the points are all filled out

#

except if you start an artifact now, that grind isnt there

rich apex
#

I still never felt like progressing the grind actually led to any noticeable different

strange falcon
#

duh

rich apex
#

Of course, I'm not a top tier raider

#

But being a top tier raider is supposed to be hard to keep up with regardless

strange falcon
#

it's not too hard unless you're running for worldfirst

#

it just consists of "dont be shit on raid night" and keeping up by doing wqs and stuff

rich apex
#

Like the whole point of it was to be a functionally infinite grind

#

And thus you're always able to progress

#

They weren't expecting you to -actually- infinitely grind

#

It's literally not worth the effort

strange falcon
#

they underestimated people

#

xD

rich apex
#

It's just an added perk to always get something nominally valuable from your instances/BGs/dailies

#

But that is fair 😛
